It was September 11 2001. Clark sat next to Pete in 3rd period. Pete passed
Clark a note which he read:
Could Miss Stomaphanato talk anymore slower?
Clark laughed and gave it to Chloe who wrote back:
It would take her all day to explain the freaking Spanish Armada!
She passed it back to Pete who laughed
Just then an announcement came on the speaker
"Attention students and staff of Smallville High" Principal Kwan's voice rang out "I have some horrible and shocking news. today, September 11 2001, Two planes have crashed into the twin towers. Please turn your TVs to Channel 28 for more news"
The class looked around at each other, wide eyed. Mrs. Stomaphanato turned on the TV which showed the plane crashing into the twin towers and breaking news. Angela Martin, a girl sitting next to Clark was the first to cry. Whitney, who had failed this class before and had to take it over again, looked over at Lana, who was on the verge of tears. He went over to her and wrapped his arms around her as she cried into his chest.
"All those lives, Whitney" she sobbed "How could something so horrible happen in this country?"
"I don't know, Lana"
He kissed her head and held her in his arms, comforting her.
Pete looked over at Chloe, who had her hands over her mouth in shock, he noticed there were tears in her eyes, which kind of freaked him out. He went over to her seat and put his arm around her.
"I just can't believe this" she said quietly
Clark, who was equally concerned walked over to Chloe
"Hey, are you OK?"
"I don't want to cry in front of you guys" she said
Clark took her hand
"We won't think any less of you" he smiled "Promise"
She smiled and let the tears flow. She rested her head on Pete's shoulder while he stroked her hair. Clark held her hand tighter as she cried. He looked back at Lana and Whitney. He had Lana in his arms. He was whispering something to her, probably telling her everything would be all right.
"God help us all" Chloe said quietly
"Shh" Clark said softly "Everything will be all right" He squeezed her hand "It will be just fine"
